Cerivcal Disc Replacement Surgery
Our body is a beautiful scientific gift to us by nature and cervical discs is a part of this amazing creature. The cervical disks are the cushions that lie between the cervical vertebrae and act as shock absorbers to allow your neck to move freely.
Cervical disk replacement surgery or also known as total disc arthroplasty involves removing a herniated cervical disk and replacing it with an artificial disk. An artificial cervical disc is a device inserted between two vertebrae in the neck to replace a damaged disc. Depending on where the disc is located, the surgeon can remove it through a small incision either in the front or back of the neck. It is generally done when the space between your vertebrae has become too narrow and part of your vertebrae or your cervical disk is pressing on your spinal cord or spinal nerves. Surgeons recommend this only when nonsurgical types of treatment and medications have failed to provide relief to the patient.
